Jeremiah 1:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And I said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.

⁷ And the Lord said to me: Say not: I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee: and whatsoever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak.

⁸ Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
